Airtran I guess I could see, don't know anything about CAL, but why do guys book out of UPS? I suppose one man's dream is another's nightmare but I feel like UPS is one of the great ones.

Albief15 your rationale sounds as good as any. Thanks

An A fund is really not even a fund, per se, not something you can touch. As far as we're concerned, like all defined benefits, its a "promise" to pay, where as with a B fund, once its in your account, its yours to manipulate and nourish or trade away!
